Being Liverpool

Has the term 'stats are for losers' ever been more relevant than in the last page or two of this thread?

 

Joe Allen isn't in the side to get assists, which Code is fully aware of but for some reason is choosing to ignore, whilst also manipulating his stats to give Adam credit for a goal that clearly wasn't his!

 

As a huge Alonso fan I'm sure Code would dismiss the whole 'assists' stat in Xabi's case, making the valid point he's often the guy who plays the pass that leads to the assist. For some reason he's not applying that to Joe Allen though.

Bolton, West Brom and the one against City at home where Lescott got it credited as an own goal.

 

The shot that was heading wide, hit Lescott and deflected in?

Thank you.

Yes I know I was right behind goal, but someone had to take that shot for it to become a goal, thats kind of the point with including it.

Spooky. I just did a whole "assists, shit or not" new thread on the FF and I hadn't even read the last few pages.

Give me some credit here Dave, it was a stupid question to begin with, how could I answer it in any other way?

 

The original implication was that Gerrard gives the ball away too much because he tries to create things and he should start playing it more safe.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

If by 8 and 3 you mean 6 and 2, but responsible for a shit load more, then I'm with you. The fat, immobile, fouling turd. He was a good left-foot and nothing more. His dead ball deliveries were shit, too.

It's a bit suspicious when people twist the official stats. You probably had that same shot as both an assist and a goal in your statement too.

[DanDanShaw]

Loses posession way to much to achieve what exactly?

 

If someone had a 50% pass completion and created 5 great chances I'd pick him every day over someone with 100% who creates fuck all.

 

Football is about scoring more goals than the opposition, not passing it around in midfield.

 

Fuck off Gerrard has cost us 4 goals directly from him losing the ball this season. If you’re talking about Allen in the “100%” bulshit, well he hasn’t cost us any.

 

It’s okay for people to criticise Gerrard you know.

[DanDanShaw]

Is this cunt trying to say that players like Gerrard, Agger, Torres and Alonso were "ruined" at Liverpool?

 

Can't remember where I once said that, but if you want to be a fucking retard all your life thats fine mate.

[DanDanShaw]

Since when has reading play and having the skill to do something about it been bastardized into the Hollywood pass. Gerrard plays plenty of short one twos simple passes, most of his career has been about that, it just so happens he has more in his locker than most players he can tackle, pass and shoot, he can read the game. He puts in a performance like the ones Lucas gets absolutely raved about for and it's considered a subdued performance from gerrard. His average would be most of our players standout performance, it astounds me how quickly people want him to fade from the scene.

 

He's been shocking this season at times when others have performed better; it's nothing to do with his level of performance or whatever else you want to say. He's had shit games, not shit compared to his standard, or shit compared to Lucas' standards. Just fucking shit.

No he had 8 assists in the league, next on the list came Suarez with 4, he is down with 2 goals, but seeing as we discussed actual contribution here I wanted to credit him with the City goal as well.

Don’t write like a journalist, theres a differenc between safe and simple. I said simple, I didn't say safe.

Is this from your made-up, unreliable source again? You've been shown up by Woolster on this. Unless you can tell me the eight, I'm going with Opta's six. Ta.

[Guest ShoePiss]

The show is a success, pretty decent light entertainment. I don't think they'll completely fuck it up in the last two episodes so well done to all involved.

[INTORRESTING]

I am really enjoying it but I probably would watch anything to do with us. I can't believe how cheesy Rodgers is - the Yanks must have loved his chat in the interviews.

[LFC 6 Times]

Dave kirby is sinful to watch, the shite he spouts is truly cringeworthy.
